We waste so much money on initiatives and social programs that can be administered much more sensibly and cheaply by local communities. Community leaders can custom-tailor their approach to what their community needs, instead of a blanket, one-size-fits-all nationwide programs that waste money.

Many of them could be run as community charities or even profitable businesses, if national government would just get out of the way and let innovation work its magic!

And I mean well-intentioned, but wasteful programs like:

- libraries (partner with publishers instead!)

- grand-making arts programs

- mandatory Common Core preschools (instilling a dislike of education from a young age!)

- programs for reduced-cost and free lunches (just use surplus food that already exists!)

- community colleges (can be run for profit)

- job retraining programs (we already have technical schools!)

- public health and drug rehab (pharma companies can step-up instead)

- national parks and wildlife preservation (why not let the market decide which ones are worth it?)

Suddenly, we'll have taken a big bite out of our unsustainable debt!
